The high temperature fiber market size, in terms of value, was about USD 5,060.00 Million in 2014 and expected to witness a CAGR of 8.74% between 2015 and 2020.

Fibers with operating temperature of 200°C and above are considered as high temperature fiber. High temperature fibers are synthetic fibers that exhibit unique properties, such as high-strength bearing capacity, high thermal resistance, low density, excellent electrical insulation, and so on. These fibers are widely used in the various high temperature applications. High temperature fibers are witnessing significant growth on account of the growing demand for heat and fire resistant fibers from various end use applications. The high temperature fibers covered in this report are aramid fibers, ceramic fibers and other fibers. Ceramic fiber is the most widely used fiber. It is commonly used in industrial application. Aramid fiber is widely used in security & protection application.

The growth of the market will be driven by the increasing demand for high temperature fiber in security & protection, industrial, and automotive applications. The Asia-Pacific region is the largest market for high temperature fibers, followed by Europe. The Asia-Pacific market is estimated to be the key growth area due to the high rate of economic development being experienced in the region. Moreover, increasing awareness about health and safety of military personnel and industrial employees is also contributing significantly to the market growth.

The industrial sector is a major application for the high temperature fiber market, accounting for around 49.76% of the market share, in terms of value, in 2014. The security & protection and automotive applications of high temperature fibers are expected to have a healthy growth rate between 2015 and 2020.

This report includes leading manufacturers profiles such as E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (U.S), Toyobo Co., LTD. (Japan), Teijin Limited (Japan), Morgan Thermal Ceramics (U.K.), Toray Industries (Japan), among others. The companies in this market competes to offer their products at competitive prices and provide a wider range of products to meet the market requirements.

The report analyses the high temperature fiber market in various applications and assess the market demand in each regions. The report also provides a market overview of high temperature fibers.

High temperature fibers are synthetic fibers that display a wide array of unique properties, such as high weight bearing capacity, high thermal resistance and flame resistance, low density, good electrical insulation, and so on. The high temperature fibers market is classified into three key segments, on the basis of type- Aramid fiber, ceramic fiber, and other fiber. Ceramic fiber is the fastest-growing type that finds applications in security & protection and other industries such as steel, cement, power, and so on.

The industrial sector is the largest application segment for the high temperature fiber market and it is likely to continue dominating the market till 2020. Security & protection and automotive application of high temperature fibers are projected to be the driving force to the growth of the high temperature fibers market between 2015 and 2020. Increasing industrial development and rise of conflicts, which leads to increased military spending, are the main factors driving the growth of the market. High cost of production and high cost of raw material are the major restraints inhibiting the growth of the market.

The high temperature fiber market is dominated by Asia-Pacific, followed by Europe. The dominance of the market by these two regions is attributed mainly to the high demand for industrial and security & protection application. RoW is projected to witness the second highest growth rates in terms of value during the forecast period (20152020). The high temperature fibers market in Europe and North America is consolidated, where as the market in Asia-Pacific has a fragmented structure. Countries in the Asia-Pacific region such as China, India, and South Korea have many small and upcoming high temperature fibers manufacturers. The level of competition in this market is expected to increase with the expansions of capacity of the small players. The major players in the market have been focusing on the development of new product variants that offer higher quality and performance to their consumers. Emerging regions such as China, India and so on will be targeted by all the players in the industry to consolidate their position in the high temperature fibers market.
